Comments Sought on VTrans 2040 Vision Plan Draft

The Commonwealth of Virginia is currently updating its statewide long-range multimodal transportation plan. The plan, known as VTrans2040, is being developed by the Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment (OIPI) in partnership with:

Virginia Department of Aviation

Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation

Virginia Department of Transportation

Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles

Virginia Port Authority

Virginia Motor Vehicle Dealer Board

Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority

VTrans is the long‐range, statewide multimodal policy plan that provides the overarching vision and goals for transportation in the Commonwealth of Virginia. VTrans2040 will include two components. The first component, currently available for review, is the VTrans2040 Vision Plan. The Vision Plan includes updated Vision, Goals, Objectives, and Guiding Principles that reflect the priorities and concerns of stakeholders across the Commonwealth. A robust trends analysis has also contributed to the plan’s focus on our changing socioeconomic dynamics and a range of future issues. It identifies transportation conditions and trends and anticipated growth patterns, and explores the demographic, economic, environmental and technological trends anticipated over the coming years and their potential influence on transportation.

The second component is the VTrans2040 Multimodal Transportation Plan (VMTP), which is currently under development and will include a continued outreach effort and multiple opportunities for input from all stakeholders. The VMTP will build on the Vision Plan by identifying multimodal transportation needs and recommendations for 2025, as well as a discussion of potential future scenarios for 2040.

An extensive and interactive public involvement process has been employed to facilitate plan development and gather feedback from key stakeholders, cooperating agencies, and the general public. The draft Vision Plan has been made available for public comment to continue this outreach effort and gather feedback from all Virginian’s.
